My name is Elizabeth Harrison.
I’m 20 years old. I live in Cardiff with my lovely man, Michael, and our son, Henry.
I suffer from Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction, a condition that seems to have taken over my life. I have to hope that there will be an end to it, but the constant pain does make me forget this sometimes! I have quite a severe form of SPD/DSP, and rely on crutches and painkillers to get me through the day.

Hi
I am a permanent case of SPD. Undiagnosed on first 2 pregnancies, 29 weeks on third. By which time was too late. My youngest was unduced at 35 weeks as I was so ill.
Had the plates fitted by Mr Mohanty at the Heath. Unfortunately didn’t work for me, but did help get me out of chair, and back onto crutches for short hauls.
Best of luck, and hope op works for you.
I live in Barry, so know the area well lol

Amanda - I’m so sorry that you haven’t found a treatment that has worked for you, though I’d be interested in hearing more about your experiences especially as we live in the same area! It sounds like you’ve had such a struggle and it pains me to think that the struggle is continuing for you.
bibomedia - thank you, I hope you have a nice day also!

Hello Amanda,
I saw your post on babyworld. I had SPD for 6 years ish after the birth of my one and only child and in 2006 had my pelvis plated. Great results for me, I am about 95% better only experiencing pain round about the time of my period. I am hoping to fall pregnant this year (fingers crossed) but I will have to have a section.
BTW, I was put in stirrups during labour too. Numpties.
Linda (feel free to email for any advice or an ear)
